Lance was as white as a sheet.
Chloe chuckled softly, "Feeling guilty? Well, you should. You two should stick together till you're old and grey! Remember, your love is something I almost traded my life for. If you two don't end up together, then won’t all my effort be in vain?"
Then she turned to Keira with a smile, "Wish you two...forever together; till death do you part."
After saying this, the smile on her face slowly faded as she walked past them.
Keira felt like the whole world was spinning. She felt as if she was on fire, her blood boiling, almost being burnt dry.
She was clearly cursing them! She wanted them to live in guilt, torturing each other for a lifetime!
Watching Chloe walk away, Lance leaned weakly against the corridor wall.
Did he even have the right to escape now?
"Lance, don't listen to her! She's just trying to provoke us to divorce. Lance, I won't leave you, no matter what!”
Looking at Keira's approaching face, Lance's eyes were filled with pain.
Was she just provoking them?
No! Everything she said was true!
She really hoped they would continue to be together! She really hoped that these two people who had hurt her would torture each other for a lifetime.
This was punishment! The deepest revenge!
Keira nervously looked at him. After a while, Lance suddenly laughed. That smile was full of pain, desolation, struggle, and sarcasm...
So many mixed emotions, it was creepy.
"Lance..." Fear filled Keira's heart.
After a while, Lance raised his hand. Looking at Keira's slightly swollen lips, he gently touched her face that was just slapped by Lauretta, and asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"
Hearing the familiar gentle voice, Keira got emotional, and tears slid down her cheeks instantly.
"Um..." she nodded her head, looking aggrieved, and rubbed her head lightly against Lance's somewhat cold palm.
Lance smiled faintly, his expression inscrutable.
"Don't want to divorce?"
He gently stroked her cheek, his voice soft, leaving Keira without any guard. Seeing teary-eyed Keira nodding her head, Lance chuckled.
"Okay, then let's not divorce, not for a lifetime."
Keira looked at him in surprise, then suddenly threw herself into his arms.
Lance leaned against the wall, letting her hug him. He looked at the view outside the window, his face expressionless.
